安徒生童话的英语读后感（精彩20篇）

在漫长又愉快的暑假里，让我有了更多的时间看自己喜欢的课外书。我最近看了《小巴掌童话》里的一个故事，叫“爱翻跟头的月亮”。

故事里讲的是一个叫聪聪的小男孩夜里看到了一个调皮的月亮。月亮在空中一会儿翻一个跟头，一会儿又伸出两只手撑在白云上来了个竖蜻蜓，精彩极了。聪聪从来都没有看过这样的月亮，平时人们看到的月亮都是安安静静的。月亮姐姐怕被太阳公公骂，不敢再做表演。但聪聪很喜欢，并和月亮姐姐约好了明天继续来看她表演。不一会儿，聪聪累了就睡着了。在梦中，聪聪又看到了月亮姐姐在翻跟头，竖蜻蜓。

这个故事让我有点羡慕聪聪，因为我也想看到会翻跟头的，会竖蜻蜓的月亮姐姐。后来妈妈告诉我，等我睡着了，就能看到了。我想今晚早点睡，那样就能很快的看到可爱的月亮姐姐了。

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.

《茶花女》的作者是法国的亚历山大·小仲马，这本小说，让我感触太深，感悟也太深。

自古红颜多薄命，美丽的容颜带来的却是无限的哀愁与悲剧。而妓女，特别是美丽而又有才情的妓女，在这条路上走得更是艰苦。比如杜十娘，情仇爱恨化作一江春水向东流;李思思、陈圆圆的命运也是令人感慨、令人无奈。而我看过《茶花女》后才明白这样的悲剧不只发生在中国。

玛格丽特的爱情悲剧故事就是这样的。一介弱质女流在放荡且无目的的生命中找寻到了真爱，为此放弃了自己习以为常的物质享受，放弃了一切能使自己暂时快乐的糜烂生活习惯，只为求能和最爱的人呆在一起。要从深陷的泥潭中爬出来，是要花很大的力气和决心的，况且还要使自己最小程度地被泥水污染。玛格丽特做到了，而且做的非常出色。可如此巨大的付出，换回的仍是人们的不理解和排挤，还有自私的人们的恶意中伤。巨大的阻力最终还是使玛格丽特和爱人分开了，误会使最爱的人再自己最需要安慰的时候羞辱她，这是何等痛苦的事情?也许真的只有死亡可以拯救她。是的，玛格丽特死了，孤独的死去，再也没了活着时的奢华，以前无数的情人也忘了她。生前的生活愈是轰动，死的时候就愈是冷清。

感谢小仲马塑造了茶花女这样一个可悲却又可敬的美丽女子。然而，希望那已死去的花朵再次从泥土中萌芽、重生的时候，远离那阴暗的墙角，能每天和阳光为伴，即使不再那么美丽，也不要重复前世的悲剧。

Over the course of this semester,I read a moving book:THE LITTLE PRINCE.It impressed me a lot,especially,the pure but deep emotion（love） between the characters such as the pilot and the little prince,the rose and the little prince,the fox and the little prince.The book remind me of the pure and nice emotion only found in childhood.

The main character our little prince live on a planet named B612 accompany with there volcanoes an a rose who falls in love with him but can not understand each other.Consequencely,he leave his planet and his endless travelling.During this period,he come across a diversity of people. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd.Then he enter earth and found thousands of roses alike.The little prince discovers that his rose is not the only ,plenty of her kind are everywhere, but then he realizes that his rose is special because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen . Then he fall across the fox.She

teaches the prince It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

What impresses me the most is the fox’s words.love is a strange stuff.Sometimes we see it but can’t grasp it.Yet, true love may be, to some extent, invisible in surface but may last permanent.Apart from love, others as well.Indeed,sometimes what we consider right turn out to be wrong,what we consider real proves fictitious,what we confused may just turn out to be the truth.The path In searching for truth may long and time-consuming,we should harbour conviction,b will and high hope.No matter what barriade in front of us,we ought to be couragous and face up to the challenge.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me the nature of goodneis one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodneis to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodneis an utterly worthleperson. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodneundoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodnein humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’ they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay ‘Goodness of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest being the character of the Deity and without it man is a busy mischievous wretched thing no better than a kind of vermin.’

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

There was a strange stillness. The birds, for examplewhere had they gone? The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was spring without voices. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with browned and withered vegetation as though swept by fire. These, too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless.

This is a strange scene described by Rachel Carson, who is regarded as the mother of modern environmental protection movement。 Silent Spring is her representative work which lighted the fire of environmental protection in America and the whole world. Before 1960s, no books or magazines talked about things like environment and ecosystem. Such a phenomenon means that environmental protection had not come to people’s mind and the social consciousness. Indeed, the main opinion in human society from the very past about nature is to set war against or conquer it. In fact, many of human’s progresses are made on the base of such opinion. Rachel Carson was the first person who doubted the correctness of the belief and brought the topic under focus.

In Silent Spring, Carson described a miserable village which was dying under the using of DDT. The village used to be prosperous and beautiful. In spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxed barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings. She thought that with the using of variety kinds of pesticide, especially DDTs, the village suffered enormous and irreversible damage and gradually withered and died. Soon it became just like the one described in the beginning. From her fine and smooth describing, I can even feel the groan of the town. Moreover Carson also sharply pointed out that the deep-seated cause for the environmental problem is the human’s arrogance and ignorance. So she asked people to correct the attitude toward the nature and reconsidered the developing path of human being.

Carson thought that because of the antibody and differentiation, pesticides would never be completely useful. On the contrary, those more and more poisonous medicines, because of the enrichment effect, would accumulate in humans’ body. It’s quite sarcastic that we hurt ourselves much badly while hurting the others. Then she analyzed many poisonous components in pesticides. Those are all unfamiliar names except DDT, such as chlordane, chloronaphthalene, compound 497, etc.

Those things really make me feel scared. We are on the top of the food chain, and it is such a perfect and fragile system. We human beings are just part of it and we depend on all of the creatures who stay on the lower positions. It is so hard and ridiculous to try to match the nature. Only in the state does man have a rational existence. Every species have their value to be on this world. Then no one knows what would happened if we force them to disappear. For example, let’s imagine the food chain as a meticulously made castle built by billions of little blocks and we human beings are the top one. There might be several tiny blocks on the bottom which you think is useless and dispensable. But what would happen if we take them away? Perhaps nothing happened, and perhaps the whole castle ruined.

Destruction is always much easier than recovery, not counting those incurable ones. Humans always think that we are much cleverer than the other animals, so we become more and more conceited and firmly believe that we are the king. We didn’t see that the nature is so magical and knows how to revenge. The pay back is much more violent and cruel. We need balance and order. The nature has its own rule. Our aim is to use it and live in harmony with it. The ecosystem is so delicate that even a tiny disturbance could lead an unexpected consequence, just like the butterfly effect.

At the last chapter, some scientists came up with other ways to solve the pest problem----biotic control. There is now a bly running tide of interest in chemical sterility. Those sterile insects are released and mate the normal ones so that they won’t have any larva and get extinct gradually. This solution seems to be reasonable and helpful, but thinking about it carefully, you’ll find that it is just another way to ruin the food chain castle. Not only spring, but also summer and autumn would be still and silent in the future.

It is lucky that Rachel still kept her mind clear. She didn’t agree with the way of conquering the nature. At the very end of the book, she wrote, The ‘control of nature’ is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man. This sentence can be regarded as the book’s theme topic which is widely quoted in all kinds of articles about environmental protection.

Carson is a great woman and fighter. When writing the book, she was suffering from huge pain of the operation for mammary cancer. After the book was published, the widely affect brought her not honor and fortune, but fierce attack from the chemical estate. She died only one year after the book’s publishing. On the spring of 1964, the great woman passed away, but Silent Spring made her voice never silent.

The 20st century was a time that technology and economy developed rapidly, especially the 40 years after Silent Spring was published. But every spring, when flowers bloom, trees sprout, and water begins to flow, we used to recall a woman and her enduring works. We opened the window, and wonder if the spring is silent today, if it will be silent tomorrow.

《皇帝的新装》被认为是表现孩子们天真可爱的天性和反映安徒生对孩子的热爱的杰作。下面是关于这部杰作的读后感，欢迎参考。

第1篇：《皇帝的新装》读后感

今天，我看了这篇【皇帝的新装】的故事，更加喜欢童话，它出自安徒生之笔，从中告诉我们一个深刻的道理，使我吸取了一些知识。

这故事讲诉的是皇帝十分喜爱漂亮的衣服。一天来了俩个骗子，自称是纺织师。而且他们做的衣服有个奇妙之处，就是愚蠢的人和不称职的官员看不见衣服。为了表示自己聪明，百姓们都装作看的见，于是骗子得了财宝走了。最后，小孩子的一句话让皇帝明白自己被骗了。

读完后这个故事，我觉得要像故事中那纯洁的小孩一样，发现问题勇于提出。所以，我们做错事时要勇敢承认，及时改正，而且也要积极地改正别人的错误，我们要做一个诚实勇敢的人。

第2篇：《皇帝的新装》读后感

今天我读了皇帝的新装这篇故事，他来自小朋友耳熟能详的格林童话。这篇文章讲了皇帝爱穿新衣服一天来了张家界两个骗子，自称织出的衣服不但漂亮而且能看出哪些大臣是苯或不称职为了表示自己聪明，称职大臣都装做看见了。皇帝给了骗子好处，穿上衣服出去了今年最流行的冬装百姓都夸耀皇帝的新衣一个孩子的一句话让皇帝明白自己被骗了。

读完这篇童话，我不禁问自己作为一国之君怎么会被骗呢?毫无疑问全是因为虚荣心，全天下的百姓。大臣甚至皇帝都心甘情愿地被别人骗，也心安理得地骗别人骗子之所以得逞，是因为他们看清了人们心中的弱点---甘愿被别人利用，为的只是满足他们可怜的虚荣心。

实际上虚荣心是与生俱来的,但是孩子的心是单纯的,随着长大虚荣心也会越来越深。读了童话后，我想提醒人们：保持一颗真诚的心，不要为了虚荣放弃那颗真诚的心。想想自己其实也这样，看见别人拿出很贵的溜溜球玩真羡慕，怕爸爸妈妈不同意买，只能看着人家玩，可真正买了又觉得别人的更好，总觉得永慈利远满足不了自己的虚荣心。当我读完文章后，我明白了虚荣心是永远不可能满足的，要学会控制自己的虚荣心，亡羊补牢为时未晚，从今天起我要做一个知足的人。今天，我玏玏读了一个故事，故事的名字叫乌鸦喝水。这个故事讲的是一只乌鸦口渴了，到处找水喝，突然它看见一个瓶子里面有水。乌鸦就飞到瓶子旁边，把嘴伸到瓶子里边喝水，结果没有喝到水，因为瓶子里的水太浅了，它想呀想，想呀想，终于想出了一个好办法。它抓起一把石子放到瓶子里，水升高了，乌鸦再次把嘴伸到瓶子里，结果喝到水了。

大人在工作中也要像乌鸦一样肯动脑筋，用小时候学过的各种知识和方法去解决遇到的困难，而要想以后独立地解决工作中遇到的困难和挫折，我们现在就必须好好学习，不要灰心不慈利要偷懒，认认真真扎扎实实地学好各种知识和技能，为自己储备知识的能量，以应对和解决今后生活和工作中的各种困难。

这个故事虽然很小，但它给我的启示却很大。孩子在日常学习生活中经常会遇到属于他们这个年龄的困难，有的孩子不怕困难，积极想办法。可也有的孩子只愿意做以前做过的事情，面对新的问题，他们没有足够的信心，不愿意去开动脑筋，以至于轻易地寻求大人助。

我们做家长的，遇到这种情况，不能代替孩子做，要鼓励孩子，给孩子勇气和力量，通过开动脑筋去完成。这样，才有利于孩子的成长，为以后的成功打下坚实的基础

第3篇：《皇帝的新装》读后感

《皇帝的新装》是著名的丹麦作家安徒生写的童话，他一生共写了160余篇童话，代表作有《丑小鸭》、《小克劳斯和大克劳斯》、《夜莺》、《卖火柴的小女孩》、《海的女儿》等。在很多作品中，作者揭露了当时社会的黑暗和金钱支配一切的罪恶，讽刺了统治阶级的专横愚昧，反映贫富悬殊，同情下层人民的苦难。不仅孩子们爱看，甚至总有一些大人也对安徒生童话爱不释手!

《皇帝的新装》这个有趣的童话描绘了这样一个故事：有一个皇帝特别爱穿新衣，两个骗子说他们能织出神奇的衣服，能看出谁聪明，谁愚蠢。皇帝赏了他们很多金银财宝让他们为自己织新衣服。于是，两个骗子就空着手，装模作样地织起来。直到游行那天，皇帝穿着根本就不存在的新衣服神气活现地在街上走着，每一个人都称赞他，没有人敢说他光着身子，只有个小孩儿说了实话，皇帝这才知道受了骗。

作者围绕“新装”这个中心，极力写出了皇帝、大臣、骗子相互欺骗的种种荒诞无稽的可笑行径，无情地揭露了封建统治阶级的虚伪、愚蠢、腐朽的本质。它告诉我们应该保持天真烂漫的童心，无私无畏，敢于讲真话。

当我读完这则童话后，不由得对那两个骗子的贪婪、不劳而获而憎恨;对皇帝的爱慕虚荣、愚昧以至于被骗子耍弄而叹息。 原来我只是在耻笑皇宫大臣的愚昧蠢笨，而这一次在演课本剧的过程中，老师提出这样一个问题：如果当时你在场，你会揭穿谎言吗?我想大多数人都会像那些大臣那样，称赞那根本就不存在的新衣服。说会的人，大多是以正义为主。说不会的人，一般是为了迎合皇上，阿谀奉承。

“如果当时你也在场，你会揭穿谎言吗。”这真是个令人深思的问题。皇宫大臣的愚昧;百姓们的随波竹流;孩子的天真无邪。在现在社会上，这种人多得不得了。你能说他们不聪明吗?不，他们很聪明。他们比平常人聪明得好几十倍!可是，他们就是不肯用自己的聪明去工作，而是喜欢耍小聪明，到头来还是害了自己。

读完这篇童话,我情不自禁地问自己,作为一国之君,为什么这个国王竟会被欺骗了这么久呢?毫无疑问，这都是因为这个国王的虚荣心。为了这所谓的虚荣心，全天下的百姓、臣子乃至国王都心甘情愿地被别人骗。他们心甘情愿地被别人骗，也心安理得地骗别人。童话中的那两个骗子之所以能得逞，是因为他们看到了人们心中的一个盲点——自愿将自己这一致命弱点暴露给别人，并且让他们加以利用，也要得到虚荣的满足。

在公路旁的一个树林里，有一个孤独的农庄。人们沿着公路可以一直走进这农家的大院子里去。太阳在这儿照着;所有的窗子都是开着的。房子里面是一起忙碌的声音;但在院子里，在一个开满了花的紫丁香组成的凉亭下，停着一口敞着的棺材。一个死人已经躺在里面，这天上午就要入葬。棺材旁没有守着任何一个悼念死者的人;没有任何人对他流一滴眼泪。他的面孔是用一块白布盖着的，他的头底下垫着一大本厚书。书页是由一整张灰纸叠成的;每一页上夹着一朵被忘记了的萎谢了的花。这是一本完整的植物标本，在许多不同的地方搜集得来的。它要陪死者一起被埋葬掉，因为这是他的遗嘱。每朵花都联系到他生命的一章。

“死者是谁呢?”我们问。回答是：“他是乌卜萨拉的一个老学生①。人们说：他曾经是一个活泼的年轻人;他懂得古代的文学，他会唱歌，他甚至还写诗。但是由于他曾经遭遇到某种事故，他把他的思想和他的生命沉浸在烧酒里。当他的健康最后也毁在酒里的时候，他就搬到这个乡下来。别人供给他膳宿。只要阴郁的情绪不来袭击他的时候，他是纯洁得像一个孩子，因为这时他就变得非常活泼，在森林里跑来跑去，像一只被追逐着的雄鹿。不过，只要我们把他喊回家来，让他看看这本装满了干植物的书，他就能坐一整天，一会儿看看这种植物，一会儿看看那种植物。有时他的眼泪就沿着他的脸滚下来：只有上帝知道他在想什么东西!但是他要求把这本书装进他的棺材里去。因此现在它就躺在那里面。不一会儿棺材盖子就会钉上，那么他将在坟墓里得到他的安息。”

他的面布揭开了。死人的面上露出一种和平的表情。一丝太阳光射在它上面。一只燕子像箭似地飞进凉亭里来，很快地掉转身，在死人的头上喃喃地叫了几声。

我们都知道，假如我们把我们年轻时代的旧信拿出来读读，我们会产生一种多么奇怪的感觉啊!整个的一生和这生命中的希望和哀愁都会浮现出来。我们在那时来往很亲密的一些人，现在该是有多少已经死去了啊!然而他们还是活着的，只不过我们长久没有想到他们罢了。那时我们以为永远会跟他们亲密地生活在一起，会跟他们一起共甘苦。

这书里面有一起萎枯了的栎树叶子。它使这书的主人记起一个老朋友——一个老同学，一个终身的友伴。他在一个绿树林里面把这片叶子插在学生帽上，从那时其他们结为“终身的”朋友。现在他住在什么地方呢?这片叶子被保存了下来，但是友情已经忘记了!

这儿有一棵异国的、在温室里培养出来的植物;对于北国的花园说来，它是太娇嫩了;它的叶子似乎还保留着它的香气。这是一位贵族花园里的小姐把它摘下来送给他的。

这儿有一朵睡莲。它是他亲手摘下来的，并且用他的咸眼泪把它润湿过——这朵在甜水里生长的睡莲。

这儿有一根荨麻——它的叶子说明什么呢?当他把它采下来和把它保存下来的时候，他心中在想些什么呢?

这儿有一朵幽居在森林里的铃兰花;这儿有一朵从酒店的花盆里摘下来的金银花;这儿有一起尖尖的草叶!

开满了花的紫丁香在死者的头上轻轻垂下它新鲜的、芬芳的花簇。燕子又飞过去了。“唧唧!唧唧!”这时人们拿着钉子和锤子走来了。棺材盖在死者身上盖下了——他的头在这本不说话的书上安息。埋葬了——遗忘了!

①乌卜萨拉是瑞典一个古老的大学。这儿常常有些学生，到老还没有毕业。

今天，我和哥哥去了书城，来到了儿童读物专柜。突然，眼睛瞄到了一本书，名叫《追风筝的人》，我立刻来了兴趣，马上从书架抽出来看了。

Today, my brother and I went to the bookstore, came to the childrens book shop. Suddenly, eyes into a book, the name of "Kite Runner", I immediately to the interest, immediately from the shelf pumping out read.

《追风筝的人》的作者是卡勒德·胡赛尼，故事主要讲了12岁的阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。然而，在一场风筝比赛后，发生了一件悲惨不堪的事，阿米尔为自己的懦弱感到自责和痛苦，逼走了哈桑，不久，自己也跟随父亲逃往美国。成年后的阿米尔始终无法原谅自己当年对哈桑的背叛。为了赎罪，阿米尔再度踏上暌违二十多年的故乡，希望能为不幸的好友尽最后一点心力，却发现一个惊天谎言，儿时的噩梦再度重演，阿米尔无法抉择。

"The kite runner" is the author of Khaled Hossein, the story mainly talked about the 12 year old Afghan rich Amir master and servant Hassan like ones own brother. However, in a kite flying competition, there was a tragic thing is, Amir feels remorse and pain for their weakness, pushed Hassan, soon, oneself also followed his father fled to USA. Adult Amir couldnt forgive his betrayal of Hassan. In order to sin, Amir again embarked on more than 20 years of home, hope to do the last bit for the unfortunate friend, but found a blockbuster lies, childhood nightmare again, Amir cant decide.

小说以温暖细腻的笔法勾勒人性的本质与救赎，读来令人荡气回肠。读了这篇课文后，我觉得阿米尔不应该为了一件悲惨不堪的事而逼走了哈桑，毕竟友情是值得去追逐、去珍惜的。我觉得我们没有必要知道断线的风筝会飞到哪里去，甚至连它的影子都不值得去追随。只要你能为它而付出真心，它一定就在你所追寻的方向!

The novel to warm the delicate brushwork outlines the nature and salvation of humanity, to read a very touching. After reading this text, I think Amir should not be to a wretched thing and pushed Hassan, after all, friendship is worth pursuing, to cherish. I think we dont need to know the kite will fly to where, even its shadow are not worth to follow. As long as you can for it and give my heart, it must be you seek direction!

这个礼拜四，学校组织初一在操场上看电影，这个电影的名字叫《背着爸爸上学》，其实一听名字就知道是一部感人片，记得当时，有许多同学都在抱怨说，这个片子太老了，不好看什么之类的，我暗暗发笑，心里说道，学校给学生看电影肯定放的是对学生有启发，有益的，怎么可能会跟随学生的思路走呢。说值得，看完之隔电影之后，我真的被感动了，也受到了许多启发。

我记得有人说过，感动只是在一瞬间，但真情却永远存生。用这句话来形容这场电影实在是再好不过了，反复这句话就是为这场电影而量身制作的。这场电影不短也不长，看了一个多小时吧，它主要讲了一个小男孩和他的姐姐父亲之间的事，小男孩的母亲去世的很早，只剩下她和姐姐，父亲相依为命，父亲用转勺的方法决定他和姐姐谁去上学，谁辍学ue，最后小男孩上学，姐姐则照顾这个家。刚开始，小男孩因为亲眼目睹自己的同学被河水淹死的情景害怕所以逃学，被父亲知道后教训了他一顿。从此，小男孩便开始努力学习，一直到高中，并且在一次奥林匹克化学竞赛中获得了陕西省的一名，就在此不久，他的姐姐出嫁了，他得知后，非常难过，于是，他便开始照顾自己的父亲。

终于，他考上了大学，可父亲生病了，于是他决定不去上大学在家照顾自己的父亲，父亲知道后，非常生气，便在一天晚上投井自尽了，幸好男孩及时发现，要不然父亲就死了，最终，男孩答应父亲自己去上大学，但为了要照顾父亲所以背着父亲一起去了大学。在看完这场电影后，我才明白原来父母对我们寄存的希望是非常大的，可我么却不懂得珍惜，有时还和父母乱发脾气，通过这场电影，可以知道一个人只有在艰难中走出来才能得到胜利。所谓俗话说的好：吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。

我希望大家把握现在的美好时光，不要让自己的黄金时期一点一点的溜走，一起说加油吧！

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. ―I‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. ―It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.‖ he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

《安徒生童话》能把小巧的拇指姑娘、美丽的小人鱼、聪明的小克劳斯和残忍的大克劳斯和坚定的锡兵等人物刻画地栩栩如生。

作者安徒生希望人间出现一个美丽幸福的世界，在这个世界里人们都具有高尚的品质和理想、勇敢和舍己救人的献身精神。“拇指姑娘”——她虽然长得身材微小，但她能乐于助人，追求光明，终于也得了自己的幸福生活。卖火柴的小女孩——她虽然一贫如洗，在寒冷的冬夜忍着饥饿卖着火柴，但她渴望温暖和光明，在一根根火柴燃烧放出光芒的时候，跟着慈祥的祖母走向没有饥饿没有寒冷的地方。

我喜欢看这本书，它让我们明白什么是善良、勤劳、勇敢、坚强、朴素、健康。让我们向着安徒生的美好希望走去吧！

一天晩上，我闲着没事，就打开了一本书，津津有味地读了起来。

我看的是童话故事《丑小鸭》，故事讲述了一只长得很丑的小鸭子，受到了同伴们的迫害、讥笑，又被母鸡啄，丑小鸭既伤心又难过。后来，它离开了养鸭场，在外面四处流浪……它先被一位老奶奶收养，老奶奶家的狗和母鸡欺负它。它又来到了一个农夫家，在农夫家它又受了许多磨难……最后，在一个春天来到的时候，丑小鸭发现自己变成了一只美丽的白天鹅。

看完这个故事我非常感动，我想：一定有许多人的命运和丑小鸭一样，只要我们努力奋斗，克服磨难就会变的非常的优秀。我们只要勤奋好学，就能成为对社会有用的人。丑小鸭之所以能够变成美丽的白天鹅，是因为它除了自己有梦想外，更重要的是，它一直都在为自己的梦想而奋斗。

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.
